在关于健康、历史破坏和环境影响的辩论中,Norwich市议会考虑避孕饲料,对鸽子进行消毒。 Norwich City Council considers contraceptive feed to sterilize pigeons, amid debate over health, historic damage, and environmental impact.

Norwich市议会正在考虑使用避孕饲料来减少Norwich市场和市政厅的鸽子数量,因为人们担心健康风险和对Lutyens战争纪念馆等历史结构的破坏。 Norwich City Council is considering using contraceptive feed to reduce the pigeon population at Norwich Market and City Hall, following concerns over health risks and damage to historic structures like the Lutyens War Memorial. 该计划受到巴黎、布鲁塞尔和巴塞罗那成功试验的启发,将在不损害鸽子的情况下对鸽子进行暂时消毒。 The plan, inspired by successful trials in Paris, Brussels, and Barcelona, would temporarily sterilize pigeons without harming them. 该理事会还在评估公共场所特别是纪念碑附近喂鸽子的罚款。 The council is also evaluating fines for feeding pigeons in public spaces, particularly near the memorial. 虽然支持者认为这种做法人道而有效,但批评者对其他野生动物和环境的影响表示关切。 While supporters call the approach humane and effective, critics raise concerns about impacts on other wildlife and the environment. 由于纳税人的关切,在Chapelfield花园建造鸽子园的提议被驳回。 A proposal to build a dovecote in Chapelfield Gardens was rejected due to taxpayer concerns. 理事会继续在公开辩论和请愿中评估各种备选方案,有3 500多人签名反对这些措施。 The council continues assessing options amid public debate and a petition with over 3,500 signatures opposing the measures.
